Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to smooth out any creases. Cut the pastry into 3-inch squares, creating the base for your spinach and cheese puffs.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, feta cheese, mozzarella, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until the ingredients are evenly incorporated, creating a savory, cheesy filling.
Step 3
Place a spoonful of the spinach mixture in the center of each pastry square. Fold the corners over the filling to create a small pouch, sealing the edges with a bit of the beaten egg to ensure they stay closed during baking.
Step 4
Brush the tops of the puffs with the remaining egg wash to achieve a golden-brown finish. Arrange the puffs on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each one for even crisping.
Step 5
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and flaky. Serve warm to enjoy the melted cheese and buttery pastry at their best. These spinach and cheese puffs are perfect for any gathering.
